Salt of the Earth - 1

Salt is the seasoning, the spice of life The reason for giving out Flavors to heal hurt Herbs to relieve grief Suggestions that fill minds With hope, faith and love Salt is the zest of giving The tang that touches Upon the heart’s feelings The additive that suggests We all need God’s healing With the adoring light of living Salt is the flavoring, the hint of Hope that rises inside one Who knows that love is there Alive on the inside of the soul Where the Holy Spirit lives And guides us toward much more Salt is the sense of truth That beckons to our minds Heavenly suggestions of joy Inspiring the spirit to delight In the wisdom of sending out Laughter, smiles and gentleness Salt is the aroma of tears and sunshine The grasp of feeling inside one Who knows that faith is alive Providing a sense of assurance Insight into the scriptural blessings That thrive with pure inspiration Salt is the touch of color pouring down From the edge of the rainbow From beginning to end, shades Of pastel gentleness relieving souls Of the sorrow, worry and fear Sending love through that stunning arc Salt is the essence of God’s breath Sighing with the whisper of a caress Gentle appreciation sent down to us Who know that He lives and sends us Quiet joy, hope, faith, serenity and more To fill us up with unconditional love Matthew 5:13 King James Version 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
